MIAMI (AP) - The father of Terri Schiavo, who became a national symbol in a closely watched right-to-die fight, has died, his son said Saturday. Robert Schindler was 71.
Schindler, a tireless activist through years of legal wrangling, died from heart failure at a hospital in St. Petersburg. Terri Schiavo, who courts ruled was in a "persistent vegetative state," died in 2005 after the feeding tube that had nourished her for years was removed according to her husband's wishes.

Very sorry to hear of another loss for this tortured family.
Prayers for them all.
Also sorry to see the misrepresentation of the autopsy.
A vegetative state is a medical “construct” and not a definitive fact.

I would have fought just as hard for my daughter. RIP, Mr. Schindler. God Bless you and your family.

What a great father he was!

A vegetative state is a medical “construct” and not a definitive fact. Notice the article states "courts ruled was in a "persistent vegetative state"... Same courts that 'legally' dehydrated her to death. But the Supreme Court of the Universe has the final say!

Mr. Schindler and the Shindler family should have been on ALL DAY instead of that insipid mess about Teddy Kennedy.
Mr. Schindler was a real hero who actually helped wake-up and change the way Americans think. God Bless.
To: tflabo
God rest his soul.
I believe that he and Terry are both at rest with God.

I love the Schindler family. All the stress of the killing of Terri, and all the fallout, surely contributed to Bob Schindler’s death. Rest in peace.
